One
of Hollywood’s most versatile leading men for more than six decades, Glenn Ford was an incredibly gifted actor whose
naturalistic style enabled him to conquer virtually every film genre, from
romantic comedies to hard-boiled film noir to epic Western stories.
But though he always seemed at ease in front of the camera, Glenn Ford off-camera was a complex, driven man who could be intensely distant to those closest to him, while his serial philandering ― including affairs with the likes of Rita Hayworth and Marilyn Monroe ― led to a string of failed marriages, personal heartache, and long periods in which he estranged himself from his only son, Peter Ford.
That
dichotomy is at the heart of Glenn Ford: A
Life, an absorbingly written book by Peter
Ford that provides a moving, nuanced portrait of the star of
Blackboard Jungle, Gilda, 3:10 to Yuma, Ransom, Teahouse of the August
Moon, The Courtship of Eddie’s Father and other classic films, as well as
Cade’s County, Brotherhood of the Bell and other television
productions. Told with the keen insight and unflinching candor that only Ford’s
son could provide, the book also interviews with dozens of Glenn Ford’s
co-stars, including Ernest Borgnine, Sidney Poitier, Evelyn Keyes, Debbie
Reynolds, Shirley Jones, James Whitmore, Carl Reiner, and Angela Lansbury, as
well as such directors as Vincent Sherman, Delbert Mann and Richard Donner.
We’ll learn what it was like to grow up as the son of Glenn Ford, as well as
discuss some of his father’s most famous screen roles, when Peter Ford joins us
in our second hour.
Peter
Ford will be appearing at the Hollywood
Heritage Museum in the Lasky-DeMille Barn, 2100 N. Highland Avenue in Hollywood,
CA (right across from the Hollywood Bowl) on Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2012 beginning
at 7:30pm. Tickets are $5 for members, $10 for non-members, and can be purchased
online at BrownPaperTickets.com. For more information,
